YHC drove all the way uptown this morning, excited to welcome an FNG to the fold with a classic Yankee workout. Alas, as the time drew near, El Wire announced that Yankee was unable to attend – some lame excuse about being “too tired”. A Saturday Tough Mudder, a Sunday 8k, but unable to follow it up with a Monday Q? I guess that’s what The Skinny is all about.
El Wire boldly stepped forward to lead us. Mosey to Oak Alley for warm up
COP 1: SSH x20, MC x20, IW x20, PJ x20, and a few others thrown in. TClaps to the PAX stepping up to call out the next rounds of exercises.
COP 2: Partner up for Suicides. PAX 1 does the 4-lightpost suicide. PAX 2 alternates between exercises. Flapjack
- Round 1: 20 Flutter Kicks, 10 Muricans
- Round 2: 20 Shoulder Taps, 10 Squats
COP 3: Indian Run to the Row Bars
NOTE: YHC is familiar with the Indian Run as a bit of a mosey pace, allowing the PAX in the rear to actually reach the front when sprinting. Apparently at The Skinny, it’s more of an Indian Sprint: a pace that seems geared to prevent the PAX in the rear from EVER reaching the front.
4 groups.
- Group 1: Burpees x10 (Timer)
- Group 2: Lunges
- Group 3: Squats
- Group 4: Rows
Repeat
COP 4: Mosey to the Bandstand for a Ring of Fire. Plank Up. Start the ‘Murican wave with 1. Then 2. Then 3, 4 and 5. Then slide to the center for high five, slide back to starting point. Side bear crawl clockwise till return to starting point. Then slide back to the middle for one last high five. YHCs shoulders crying for mercy.
COP 5: PAX Mary. Around the group, everyone calls an exercise each IC x10. 12 exercises, the specifics escape YHC. Flutters, LBCs, BB, Box Cutters, etc….
COP 6: 3 minutes left, so Nip/Tuck leads a sprint to the benches for a round of Dips, Step Ups, Incline Muricans and Decline Muricans.
Mosey back to the VSF for Countoff (finished with 10, lost 1 to hopefully minor back pull and 1 to time constraint), Name-o-rama, and prayers. 2 FNGs named: Hasselhoff and Madoff.
YHC thanks the Uptowners for allowing me to join the fun. Thanks El Wire for the short-notice Q!
